If ever there was a city worth visiting solely to see a piece of architecture – it would be Paris.

I have 3 must-see items on my list for this trip to Paris: The Louvre, Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower.

Paris, France’s capital, is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. Its picturesque 19th-century cityscape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine. Beyond such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower and the 12th-century, Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, the city is known for its cafe culture, and designer boutiques along the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
